Is this safe? I only have a portable gas stove and a propane camping grill from WalMart

I'd love to ask the coal community a question.

I live in uk, and I am from africa where we have abundance of forestry with minimal climate regulation and brouhaha

I want to explore charcoal exportation from nigeria to UK or USA I have got the logistics sorted out however, I need help concerning how to sort for businesses in the UK or USA who are in need of charcoal, local restaurant or grills wont cut it for me because I'm not looking at retail exportation but bulk exportation, I mean tonnes of charcoal not bits.

i have explored yelp, amazon and other directory but it seems these big businesses already have their suppliers. I have reached out to companies like kamado, marienburg, alderline and weber but no response.

so who has got an idea of how to land client(s) who will be interested in buying bulk worth of charcoal from me?

I’m grilling a 13.5lb turkey on a Weber kettle tomorrow. Any pointers, or advice you guys have? Thanks!

Charcoal grilled this tri tip with some potatoes and broccoli. Waiting on this bad boy to rest a bit before I cut in.

Made some charcoal from maple ,didn't seem to last very long. What is the best type of wood for making your own.

Bought cowboy lump charcoal. It pops and sparks like I’m burning sappy wood the entire cook. It’s driving me crazy.

I think jealous devil has been the best lump I’ve used so far.

Middle is a single chicken breast and on the sides are 1/4 a sweet potato. I don’t have a thermometer. How long should I let it cook for? Should I cover it with the barbecue lid?

Question for anyone here who has made their own big lump charcoal.

I just got done with my first batch and am not sure if it turned out… “normal”.

What I did. Split a bunch of Ash into fairly useable sized logs. Most around 4” in width. (Just took down four ash trees this year… fun with emerald ash bore in this area)

Double stacked those as tight as I could in a 50 gallon barrel, the set this over a fire. Started it at 1600 on Saturday, had a ton of smoke coming out til about 2300 when I fell asleep. Refired it off in the morning at about 0700.

Still got quite a bit of smoke and eventually a few hours later the vent gas started flaming. Kept the fire burning hot until that stopped. At the point I plugged the hole and let it cool.

Once cool I opened it up and noticed it has a smell to it, can’t really describe it, but smells like a chemical or something. Also noticed some of the wood still had a bit of color to it.

Did I mess anything up? Is it safe to use?

I have a SnS insert and I plan to try over the top chili today. I’m a little concerned about being able to get the right temperature and maintain it. Especially with the cooler weather right now in the Midwest.

I planned on lighting a handful of briquettes and then filling the SnS after they’re going. Where do I set the dampers?

How long is the chili gonna take? I figured 2 hours? Will the SnS last that long or will I have to refill?

I will be pruning some olive tree and was wondering if it makes good charcoal? The wood itself is dense and hard and burns hot. I will also have some almond and apple wood to use. Is there any problem with using a combination of woods?

Thinking about cookin some steaks at the park tmrw, but im scared people may complain about all thw sparks since mesquite sparks up like crazy. Any tips on how to manage this? put the grill lid over it?

I have an Oklahoma Joe's judge charcoal grill. When I got the grill I didn't realize that it doesn't have a top rack warming tratray. Does anyone know if there any aftermarket retractable warming tray that I can buy and install in the grill?

Cooked for 2 hours in foil. Then a couple minutes on the grate with barbecue sauce on each side.
